A full re-thatch of the property was completed in January 2021, ensuring the roof is in excellent condition and preserving the home’s historic appeal.
Set over two floors, the property boasts a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and floorboards, latch doors, and feature fireplaces—including a cosy log burner in the lounge.
